description Na<sub>v</sub>1.5 is the predominant cardiac sodium channel subtype, encoded by the <i>SCN5A</i> gene, which is involved in the initiation and conduction of action potentials throughout the heart. Along its biosynthesis process, Na<sub>v</sub>1.5 undergoes strict genomic and non-genomic regulatory and quality control steps that allow only newly synthesized channels to reach their final membrane destination and carry out their electrophysiological role. These regulatory pathways are ensured by distinct interacting proteins that accompany the nascent Na<sub>v</sub>1.5 protein along with different subcellular organelles. Defects on a large number of these pathways have a tremendous impact on Na<sub>v</sub>1.5 functionality and are thus intimately linked to cardiac arrhythmias. In the present review, we provide current state-of-the-art information on the molecular events that regulate <i>SCN5A</i>/Na<sub>v</sub>1.5 and the cardiac channelopathies associated with defects in these pathways.
